Sounds like good value to me..................

Even an engine rebuild will take it up to less than 20k ........

Sounds about right to me.

Mine is the same colour, was a grand cheaper, has done only 24,000 miles and had a front and rear paint and service, new clutch, radiator etc; still waiting for the engint to go !BANG! though.

P.S. Check the heater works!wink

Why?

I am potentially interested in this car - what's up with the heater?

Cheers,

Looks good to me as it's almost exactly the same as my car which I paid £16K for April last year. I've done loads of things to my car since as well like end cans, Gaz Golds, tyres, front disks and pads, air con compressor (and still no working air!)and so on.

The main difference between that car and mine is that mine is on a fresh (3,000 miles max) full engine re-build which I think is worth at least £1k (I stand to be corrected there!) and has 39k on the clock. If I advertised mine at the moment I would probably advertise it at £15k and keep it if it didn't sell!

I guess it depends on how much you want to sell and how much a buyer is prepared to spend. There is the risk that the engine could go again as mines had 2 re-builds in its 39k miles.

Looks like a good deal to me. If I hadn't already bought one I would seriously consider that one at that price and he'll consider offers. thumbup

Sorry, I didn't mean there might be a heater problem specifically with the advertised vehicle.

There seems to be a general problem with the Tuscan heaters, especially the blower fan and the Heater ECUs are proving difficult to source.

I was recommending in general that if you are purchasing a Tuscan, to make sure the heater, A/C and blower fans all work properly.

And its because I miss that one so much that I bought it!
